LaCire Drip Pillar - Set of 3 Purple Drip Candles

Yes, but like cooking on a stove or hiking up a mountain, there are a couple of things that you need to do to make it safe.
1. Clear the space - be careful exploring wax play on your bed…open flames and sheets don’t play nice.
2. Test the wax on you and/or your partner’s skin beforehand
3. The further away from the skin, the wax is dropped, the safer as this way the wax has time to cool. Hold the candle at least 30cm away from your partner’s skin when dripping the wax onto them
4. Remember to always communicate openly, discuss boundaries beforehand and establish a safe word.

Just like any open flame, it is possible to burn yourself. However, there are plenty of ways to reduce this risk and explore the wonderful world of sensation play in all its glory without burning yourself.

We got you! Prep the skin beforehand with a light coat of baby oil (hello foreplay!) to avoid the wax clinging to hair. If it still difficult to remove afterwards, lather the baby oil onto the hair and use your nails to remove the remaining wax.

The fun doesn't have to end after dripping the wax onto the receiver's body! Here's a couple of sensual ways to remove the wax. 1. Use your nails to peel off the wax
2. Lift the wax using a plastic card
3. Slide a comb over the wax
4. Scrape it off using a blunt butter knife (safely and consensually)

Like with any great chat about sex, this initiation of wax play with your partner must be first spoken about, outside the bedroom - as opposed to, mid-way through a hot and steamy sesh, suddenly laying down the drop sheet, whipping out the candle and lighting that flame faster than you can say “IT'S GETTING HOT IN HEREEE".

Having a conversation before engaging in wax play with your partner, allows them to think about it without the pressure to say yes in the heat of the moment (literally and metaphorically). An example of how you could approach the topic of wax play with your partner is; “I've been curious about exploring wax play together, and I was wondering how you feel about trying it with me?”

We got you babe - blow out the candle and then put the burnt area under cool running water for at least 20 minutes.

We love a lil bit of blended pleasure! Any of the toys we stock can be used in conjunction with wax play. We'd recommend the receiver be in control of the toy to allow the person dripping wax to safely play with their partner. Hot tip: this is a great opportunity to engage in some dom/sub play, the dom being the wax dripper who could direct the sub on how they should play with the toy!

Wax play is often considered a part of BDSM. This type of play steps into the realm of experiencing pain as a form of pleasure (did someone say flames of passion?!). This certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea but for some, engaging in something a little dangerous or even the anticipatory nature of waiting for the wax to hit the skin can be incredibly arousing and exciting!

There's plenty of ways to turn up the heat on your wax play. Enhance the sensory experience by blindfolding the receiving partner.

The general rule of thumb is to keep all wax below the receiver's shoulders. Never pour wax on an open wound or near genitalia - everywhere else is totally safe! Remember to always communicate openly, discuss boundaries beforehand and establish a safe word.

Absolutely! All the candles that we stock are made out of body-safe, non-staining wax.
